First thing's first - you can't access password protected directories - it all has to be guest access.

If they are non-password protected, then it MAY be the same old CIFS like issue cropping up with NTLMv2. I had similar problems trying to see my NSLU2 drives.

Try this: http://www.linux-watch.com/news/NS4434907782.html

Click "Start -> Run." Then, type in the Run field: "secpol.msc." That will bring you to Vista's security policy system. Once there, use "Go to: Local Policies > Security Options" and then find "Network Security: LAN Manager" authentication level. Once there, change the Setting from "Send NTLMv2 response only" to "Send LM & NTLM -- use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated."
If secpol doesn't do the trick see if it's been changed in the registry:

If this fixes it can you add an entry to the Wiki in the relevant location please
